Are there environmental concerns with sky lanterns?

the only environmental concerns I could see might be in the small wire frames, the rest is either combustible or bio-degradable.

The paper lantern completely combusts, so the only concern would be the smoke being emitted into the atmosphere from the burning paper and wax.

The fire will burn out when the wick is all done (melted). Once the lantern goes out and the sir begins to cool the come down. By then the fire is out and nothing to worry about. Plus the are biodegradable

Hi Jennifer,Each sky lantern is in its own packaging. They should be protected from moisture, and direct light. I recommend buying them missing two or three months for the wedding.

In my opinion this lantern would be a great addition to your outdoor plans. If it were my function I would place one every 5 to 6 feet for even disbursement of light whether placing on the table or hanging from an overhead implement. Hope this helps.

Yes. I use several of these candles in lanterns displayed on our deck. The timer is a great function, because I don't need to go outside to turn them on or off, its done automatically every nite. I love the idea of using them in the pumpkins...looks like I will be buying more of these!

They are small but cute - I used them in a lantern - I am not sure they are meant for outdoor use...

I'm not sure but this company seems to be very concerned about being healthy and earth friendly. Best to ask them directly.

We have not used the lanterns. Tried them, but waiting for a blackout. They do seem bright enough however it would be great to have two.

I really don't know I used mine with the purifier I have and they work great -- just not sure about SKY

Our Fairy Lights can be used outdoor. However, we would like to let you know that they are not waterproof so protection is needed especially for the battery box.

I have them IN lanterns as well but under a roofed area. I don't recommend leaving them out where they can get wet. The bottom (where the batteries go) is not water proof.

These lanterns are horrible and dangerous in my opinion. They take much longer to light in contrast to the Sky lantern brand I've purchased before. The other brand would catch fire and take off after 20 seconds or so. These you have to hold much longer and hope they take off.

I use a LED bulb for more brightness and energy saver. The material of the lantern is resin (hard plastic), however, it is very sturdy. After our strong winter storms, I did not experience any problems with it. I purchased it over a year ago and love the way it looks in my front yard. I highly recommend it.

Well they use solar energy not electic so I suppose that's the eco friendly part-- I don't have the box anymore so not sure if the balls are made of some kind of recycled material or not-- but they are a type of plastic or almost silicone material. I live in a really windy area and have them in the back hard on some trees that get pounded by west wind- I couldn't be happier with my purchase - these little lights shine bright night afrter night- all weather and I'm in Rochester NY!!

I didn't see any. Had the lights out for a year and no problem. Love the change of colors. I just made another order to add to the yard.

The lights are fluorescent and should be handled as mercury containing trash in your area. Protect the environment.

I used them outdoors, no problem. They were however, inside a light fixture.
